With recent market demand for eTextile, Cubbison has identified new form factor substrate options and has developed the printing techniques and handling processes to produce soft, pliable circuitry, and sensors. Our engineering and production teams can enable your idea from prototype through production.
Our attention to detail is the reason why Cubbison is widely recognized as a world-class manufacturer and can deliver solutions in specialized verticals like new form factor printed electronics (PE).
Compatibility That’s Soft, Quiet, Conforming, Durable
Many applications for printed flexible electronics and sensors require a better interface. This could be a wearable biosensor or a seat sensor where pliability, comfort, low noise, and durability are important. Printed electronics using polymer thick film (PTF) materials perform well on a wide range of substrates or transfer inks that make possible new form factor circuitry and sensors. Cubbison can provide a thoroughly engineered combination of PTF, substrate and process to meet a wide array of performance requirements.
Stretchable and washable requirements are challenging and often elusive. There are many applications, however, that require minimal stretchability and limited or no washing. Ideal applications require the following features: soft, pliable/supple, 3-D shapeable, durable, quiet when deformed, comfortable, or undetectable when worn.
Applications
- Wearable Technology
- Human-Machine Interface
- Hospital Care and other Healthcare applications
- Sensors -pressure, humidity, temperature
- Logistics tracking
- Biosensing, therapy, treatments
New Form Factor Options Used at Cubbison
Cubbison offers solutions using the following substrate and PTF combinations:
- Thermoplastic Urethane (TPU) film – these include mono-layer and multiple layer combinations for features such as heat lamination.
- Resin-coated Textile – several textile grades and resin coatings are available to meet the needs of the customer’s requirement.
- Non-Woven Fibers – these offer low-cost durable solutions with a wide range of form factor.
- Polymer Thick Films – these include silver ink for traces, silver chloride ink for sensors, carbon ink for resistors, insulation inks to protect, force sensing resistor (FSR) ink, positive thermal coefficient inks for heaters, adhesives for lamination, etc.
